Solution To The Site's Confussion

**Steadygain** · 10-17-2007, 05:12 PM

Tom, We are simply in a state of transition and this creates an illusion that things are chaotic - especially for those who have been onboard for years. Those who are new are much better prepared because for them nothing has changed.

I would say the overwhelmingly confussion stems from Ebb's Members not feeling they can discuss their ITFs to the general site. I am a member and if my view varries from Ebb then I feel perfectly free to share my thoughts - BUT I DO NOT GIVE ANY HINT WHAT EBB HAS SUGGESTED UNTIL AFTER THE FACT. I believe all members not strictly following Ebb's Direction should be able to freely discuss it. Dr. F (like me) did his own thing, but seems afraid to share his personal insight. First and foremost I feel he (and all other members) need to realize that there is nothing wrong in sharing your personal insights if it varies from Ebb, in fact that would benefit everyone. If Dr F. or I make known our plan - and others fail for following our advise - then it is between them and us - but everyone is responsible for making their own decision.

For those who want to discuss Ebb's ongoing suggestions - a site will soon be available for all members. But no matter what we say to one another it will not change his chart or his direction for any particular day.

ANYWAY - I THINK YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB - A REALLY GREAT JOB

Sorry Folks, I Didn't Know The 5 Day Rule. Information Can Not Be Shared Until After 5 Days When Talking About A Premium Site.

Knowing This Should Help Everyone.

Funny then that the information is freely available here within a day. Oops - I think I just killed the golden goose.

Where is the premium service allocations avaiable within a day? We are going through some growing pains since going to the premium services. I see where we are exploring a possible premium server so members can freely discuss the EbbChart and other premium services after signing in. Until then be patient and remember loose lips only hurt ourselves.

In the Auto Tracker Ebb's allocation can be figured each evening. Since his system's return is published, we know the system goes 100%, we wrote down yesterday's YTD return, all we have to do is look at the gain/loss to figure which fund the system was in. My fifth grader could figure it out!

It's still too much of a bother for me - never cared and never will care. Besides the "Cooler" lurks.

You are correct on that account, but I never thought that anybody would bother. I do not think we would want to hide the Year To Date (YTD) return, but maybe we should only update the return data on a weekly basis. I'll point that out to Tom and ebbnflow.

But why do "we" care if you can figure out the allocations after the fact? Everyone knows Ebb's system is a high risk system that moves frequently. I do not see the advantage in knowing the allocations after a day.

But .... if Ebb did an ift entry each day, even if the move is to stay in exactly the same fund for 2 days in a row, then the rest cannot tell if he moved in or out, and therefore they cannot tell whether ebb moved or not.

So easy, even a 5th grade cave man can do it.

Not sure I follow. At issue is the 5 day rule which is silly given the availability of allocation results. Ebb was in G today, and I Mon and Tue. That's not subscriber info because it's openly published by way of allocations.

I would think you would want people to be able to compare their results to Ebb on a daily basis - that way they might want to subscribe as they see him making all the right moves (oops - this week being a bad example

). Right now it's out of sight/out of mind (for some of us).

James we were talking past moves, not futrue. You could still tell where the system was for a given day. The key information is the YTD return published everyday.
